Hey i was just wondering what other forums do other people visit?
Mine are mostly computer and internet forums:
http://forums.devhardware.com - cool place, its about overclocking, and getting the most bang outta your buck for when it comes to hardware, (mostly for gaming purposes but not just)
http://www.abxzone.com/forums/ - the old people version of this site, bunch of 50 years that think they know what they are talking about. It's fun to tease them.
http://www.short-media.com/forum/ - thats here
http://computing.net/ - where the true nerds of the internet live at. I remember when i was first infected by the sasser virus THE DAY it came out. All the forums i went to no idea what it was (they were all flooded with panic messages like mine), but computer.net was able to get to the bottom of it that same day. Nerds.
I also goto some rock climbing forums, but i don't think anyone else here is interested. Does anyone know of some regediting forums out there?
I don't visit any other forum.

Even though Thrax is an admin at keyboardjockey.com :rolleyes: ;D
I visit keyboardjockey.com, midwestmeditation.com (my other site), and icronticforums.com. That's about it.

I'm faithful to Short-Media. How dare you blaspheme around us! If you must mingle with the ... others ... kindly keep it to yourself. It hurts just to hear it said. :bawling: ;D

I was tired of taking **** from people about being a "OMG BIASED MODERATOR!!!!111" so I only show up when people ask me to. I don't count that as "Visiting" as that assumes a familiar and common reoccurrence.
Other than here:
The Dwarf Puffer Forums (http://dwarfpuffers.com/forum)
HipTop forums (http://www.hiptop.com/forum) Although I just check there for new news, as most people who post there are 12-14, and can't type a paragraph without "LOL!!11", "gangsta speak", and/or the entire post in ALL CAPS.
The Hiptop software developer's forums (I can't link to that one)
And more recently nVNews (http://www.nvnews.net) for video related stuff.

Bah, blaspheme all you want. :p
I'm guilty of lurking around several forums including:
Anandtech (http://forums.anandtech.com/)
B3TA (http://www.b3ta.com/board/)
[H]ard Forum (http://www.hardforum.com/) *gasp* :hair:
In the end though, Short-Media is the only real forum I hang around. It's just soo damn good. :buck:

How can a moderator at a debate site NOT be biased? ;D
That was the original point of having mods from several disparate backgrounds and political and religious affiliations. I think it's still a good mix, although I wouldn't mind getting A2JFreak as our next mod if traffic ever picks up there ;D
I know. That's what I kept telling people.
But I stopped giving a ****. I come in, don't even log in, check the threads, then come back in a few weeks.
www.lespaulforum.com - guitar geeks, totally gearheads like we are about computers, very opinionated, loosely moderated.
www.fenderforum.com - almost the opposite, much more like us here in many ways. A community, tightly moderated, problem solvers, look out for their own.
Strangely enough, neither of the above forums are directly associated with the manufacturers in question (Gibson/Fender). I am member and post at both.
For computer stuffs, I am a member at the forums of [H], ModTheBox, PCStats and OCC but very rarely make an appearance at any of them.
I'm a member of a backgammon league that has a private forum on MSN.

My reaction as well ;)
I'm an admin on the new Juniata College Forums (https://forums.juniata.edu) so I'm obligated to regularly visit. I also tend to stop by Brian's Midwest Buddhist Meditation Center forum even though I think I go there more than he does... :rolleyes:

I only visit other forums when I find an interesting conversation. (Ex: when I'm linked to a specific place.) Never post anywhere but here though.
Actually, I'll reverse my original statement and say that I have a 5 year history of visiting www.deadlok.co.uk (Private forums) about every 6 months.
I visit here and Voided Warranty forums (http://www.voidedwarranty.com/modules.php?name=Forums) and at times the Corsair forums but not very often there.
I almost forgot, Keyboardjockey forums but it's been dead lately.
